The Compaq 1600 Series computer is a complex tool that
must be disassembled in a pre-defined order. Failure to
adhere to the order can cause damage to the unit. Start
with this screen and work through the screens until the task
is complete. Then work through the screens in reverse
order to reassemble the computer.
NOTE:
Remove the battery pack before performing any
internal maintenance on the computer.
To prepare the computer for disassembly, complete the
following steps:
■ Disconnect AC power and any external devices
■ Remove the battery pack
■ Remove any PC Cards
WARNING: Metal objects can damage the battery
pack as well as the battery contacts in the battery
compartment. To prevent damage, do not allow
metal objects to touch the battery contacts. Place
only the battery pack for the Compaq Presario 1600
Series Portable Computers into the battery
compartment. Do not force the battery pack into
the bay if insertion does not occur easily.
CAUTION: Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate
the battery pack. Do not open a battery pack, as
this damages the pack, makes it unusable, and
exposes potentially harmful battery components.
There are no field-serviceable parts located inside
the battery pack.
NOTE:
Compaq Presario 1600 Series Portable Computers
have several screws of various sizes which are not
interchangeable. Ensure that the correct screws are
used in their correct location. During removal please
keep respective screws with their associate sub-
assembly.
